Writer based in the North East of England. Aim to have my debut novel completed in 2025.
What an great experience this was. First time public reading of my work in progress at the wonderful Noir at the Bar event, which was part of this year’s Write Festival at The Word in South Shields.

And off we go again on another adventure with Tilly and Poe one of my all time favourite double acts in crime fiction. The Mercy Chair. Didn’t expect that at the end of chapter one. This is going to be good. @mwcraven.bsky.social

Really enjoyed my introduction to Helen and Suki in Murder at the Seaview Hotel. Great story and characters. Looking forward to the next one Curtain Call at the Seaview Hotel.
